Selling Wholesale Jewelry
If you are a creative person, with a great sense of style and flair,
you may be able to start your own business making and selling
jewelry wholesale. Because people are so very unique, they want
jewelry pieces that are unique one-of-a-kind pieces that
nobody else in the world owns! This desire can make you quite a
bit of money simply start your very own jewelry wholesale
company.
You can easily order wholesale supplies from hundreds of companies
around the globe online at really low prices. It is important
to keep up with how much each part of each piece of jewelry costs
you, and to get a total cost of each piece, including any expenses
that you had for having supplies shipped to you. With the total
cost figured, you can easily set your prices by adding 15% to the
cost.
You can sell your pieces in a variety of ways. You can open your
own online wholesale jewelry store, sell to local jewelry stores,
rent booths at local flea markets and fairs, or advertise your jewelry
making skills and take orders for unique pieces. You can also sell
your pieces on consignment at boutiques.
You want to be known for your quality. Always select the highest
quality gems and stones for your pieces, and make sure that the
craftsmanship is outstanding. Become exclusive, and more people
will want to purchase your pieces and never make any two
pieces alike.
However, you can also go the other route and make hundreds of identical
pieces, as they are ordered. You do this by making one very unique,
high quality piece, and showing it to your local jewelry stores.
Ask them if they would like to order in bulk, then fill the order.
Another option is to do catalog sales. Make enough pieces to fill
a small catalog, and take pictures of each piece. Write a description
for each piece and then put together your own catalog using software
and a good printer or send the work to a print shop. You
can send these catalogs out to a list that you obtain from a direct
mailing list company.
This type of business does require creativity and skill, but it
also requires the ability to market yourself and your jewelry. You
need to have business cards printed, and also have catalogs and
brochures printed as well to market your jewelry wholesale business.
